    Quick carb cleanng tips for 1968 100hp Evinrude?

    I am getting ready to get our 68 Evinrude 100hp started this spring and wondering if anybody has any tips for a quick carb cleaning without removing the carb for a full clean? The carb on the 68 100hp is a "series 2" I believe, which is basically four single bore carbs. It's relatively rare...

    Multiple sparks or mistimed sparks on 68 Evinrude 100hp

    I'm trying to get our 68 100hp Evinrude running again. We used it last summer, then one day it died at the dock and wouldn't start. I diagnosed the problem as a bad ignition module (which was relatively new) so I sent it back to CDI and they replaced it. The wiring harness, plugs, coil and...

    1968 Evinrude 100hp Starflite dies

    2 steps forward, one step back. In the quest to revive our Evinrude outboard we made real progress yesterday. Up until the point when we didn't. I rigged up a test tank with a 55 gal barrel cut in half, installed the new NGK BUHW-2 plugs, pumped the bulb and hit the key. It fired right up...

    Reviving a 1968 Evinrude 100-S Starflyte

    I am trying to get a 1968 Reinell 19' and Evinrude 100-S Starflyte operational again for a little summer fun with our girls. I had a local mechanic check her out and get it started, and I was also able to start it on a hose here at the house. The PO had the gear oil replaced, rebuilt the...

    Flush or muffs for 1968 Evinrude 100 hp

    I'm just about ready to start our 1968 Evinrude that has been dormant for years. A mechanic put a new water pump in it, and I just replaced all the fuel lines and a few suspect wires. I'd like to hook it up to water rather than dragging it all the way to a boat launch for the first test. But...

    Fuel tank checking / cleaning tricks?

    We are getting close to getting our "new" boat in the water, but I need to check and possibly clean out the 2 fuel tanks before filling them up. On old cars I've typically just drained out the old gas, filled with fresh, run it for a bit then changed the fuel filter. With a boat I'd prefer a...

    Noob boat cover questions

    Hey gang, So we just picked up a really nice 1969 Reinell 19' outboard, and we want to keep it as nice as we can. Unfortunately we can't spring for indoor storage at the moment, and it won't fit in our one-car garages, so it's parked in a storage yard. Here's my intro thread with a few...

    1969 Reinell 19' barn find

    I wanted to introduce our latest boat project. Although oddly enough it's really not much of a project. I finally took my own advice and bought the best we could afford. She's a 1969 Reinell 18.5' outboard with an Evinrude motor 100 hp motor. A friend found her stored in a garage for the...

    What's needed to run my engine out of the water?

    Hey gang, We recently picked up a 1969 Reinell 19' with a 120 HP Mercruiser I/O engine. It came with 2 final drive units, both off the boat (one on a nice custom stand). The engine had been winterized at some point and I'm trying to get it running again. I started with the ignition system...
